Atlanta Mayor vetoes street railway transfer plan
Mayor Woodward read his veto message denying an ordinance granting the Atlanta Railway and Power Company the right to interconnect with the Atlanta Railway Company. He argued the city must not grant further franchises while court cases contest existing rights and noted strong reasons to withhold approval until the dispute is resolved.

Atlanta Transit Franchise Fight Warps Public Trust
The text argues against granting a consolidated street railway transfer and franchise to the Atlanta Railway and Power Company. It contends the company could force transfers, ignores public interest, and points to past waivers and exemptions. Mayor James G. Woodward submits the petition opposing the proposed transfer and urges strict adherence to existing ordinances. The piece frames the dispute as a matter of public policy and city control over transit development.
